This half-day workshop is aimed at anyone thinking of redesigning their website, undertaking a major web project or who wishes to share their experience of just having done so.

The workshop will consider how an organisation might plan and managethe process of developing a major web project with an external designagency or internal developers.

Participants in the workshop should expect to learn:

  • How to write a brief
  • How to choose the right people to work with
  • How to be a good client
  • How to best exploit existing resources
  • Strategies for addressing challenges with your content
  • Things to avoid

The workshop will aim to be highly interactive with conceptual information balanced with practical advice and a series of hands-onexercises to explore the techniques discussed.
